Appreciative Parents

I've always thought Blue Jays were pretty but never really paid attention to them because they are generally aggressive as well as protective of their young.  This year, a pair of friendly blue jays decided to call my yard home and are actually quite friendly.  When I get home from work, the parents fly up to the Crepe Myrtle trees and wait for their daily fix of peanuts.  I throw a bunch out and then give them another snack around my dinner time.  

Their new child pictured in today's extra photos finally started venturing out.  While I was in the front yard, it kept chirping for food and got amazingly close to me.  Mom & dad stayed close but never yelled at the kid or me.  

BTW: Brunetta and her brother are doing great but I have not seen their dad in a couple of days.  I hope he is OK.
